> But if you were to use a teleporter to see these objects with your own eyes, they would match what is in the “photo”, right?

No. Very likely not.

The photos may be of wavelengths of light that the human eye can't see, so scientists shift (and stretch/shrink) those into the visible spectrum.

That means the photos could contain something you can't see with the naked eye.

If you were to teleport there, you would (probably) see something, but the colors likely wouldn't be like in the photo.
